Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q. I only start my grant on 1 July 2025. When can I start organising the trip?
Please discuss with your employer the organisation of the trip to Garching. You can submit the IMS mission application as soon as you get your EUROfusion IMS account. This can take place after 1 July 2025, but before the travel to Garching.
Please arrange the mission with your institute (flight/train, accomodation, health travel insurance - if not automatically covered by your national/work insurance, how food & drinks will be reimbursed).
Apply to an IMS & IDM account at EUROfusion.
Q. I am in Garching. Do I need to make an IMS mission application?

Munich offers many great opportunities both in its center as well as in its surroundings (e.g. the Munich city transportation system can take to multiple lakes, hikes, breweries in the city surroundings, as well as in the city center e.g. Olympiapark with the BWM museum, Deutsches Museum, Englisher Garten, Pinakotheks and the Lenbach House).
